The second part of the documentary shows how the BBC&s amazing, never-before-seen nature shots are made by manipulating time - be it time-lapse, hyperlapse or slow-motion images. And here too, technological evolution plays an important role: slow-motion pictures are much easier to make digitally than analogue on film: used to have to be taken in the studio and were limited to 2 seconds, digital cameras also allowed much longer shots outside. The subject of the third part is nature night shots, which have also become better and better over time due to advances in technology. Initially, artificial light was still needed, but the BBC has since used thermal and high-resolution infrared cameras (refitted RED Dragons) and Sony&s A7s for night shots.
